Change to Change the World
St. Augustine’s is committed to changing the world for Christ. We encourage our parishioners to contribute their collected change on a weekly basis for worldwide missions. Through this we support those who are doing the work of ministry in places we cannot go.
This is true Change to Change the World.
St. Augustine's Change has raised the funds necessary to purchase much needed motorbikes for two Anglican priests in Kenya. In this part of the world, clergy are sometimes assigned to remote mountainous areas and must travel long distances between parishes. These dedicated shepherds spend many hours walking from village to village to care for their precious flocks. With motorbikes, they are now able to travel more safely and spend additional time with each church encouraging them in the Lord.
Another Change goal is to provide support for the Rev. Joseph Jocelyn in Haiti. This Anglican priest is overseeing eleven parishes in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere where 80% of the population lives in poverty. Our diocese, the ADLW, is strongly supporting Fr. Jocelyn and we intend to come alongside with prayers and much needed financial support.
St. Paul's Theological School
Kapsabet, Kenya
We are honored to partner with young Christians in Africa who have been called to Anglican ministry and a deeper walk of faith. Each year St Augustine’s gives scholarships to young people in Kenya enabling them to go to seminary at St. Paul's Theological College, Kapsabet. The Change for Change Fund along with tithes and offerings enabled us to send eight students through seminary this year. This is just another way we are spreading the gospel here and around the world.
Together, our small sacrifices can provide Change to Change the World.
